Brian Churchill has retired as property portfolio manager of Local Government Super (LGS), replaced by Andrew Kim.
Joining the fund in 2001, Churchill was a key leader in positioning the LGS property portfolio to meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles.
At the end of last year, the fund took the top spot in a ranking of the largest retirement funds in the inaugural global climate investment index.
In 2003, Churchill also oversaw the restructuring of the LGS portfolio into an unlisted property trust.
"Brian has played an integral role in bringing our property portfolio to meet and exceed some of the highest ESG standards inside and outside the superannuation industry," LGS chief executive Peter Lambert said.
Lambert said new property portfolio manager Andrew Kim was already familiar with LGS' portfolio and practices, having spent the past three years as property asset manager.
The fund has hired a former ART executive as its new head of group strategy.
The sovereign wealth fund has revealed six internal hires to support the execution of key strategies.
The fund has announced the departure of a second senior executive in as many months, with its chief member officer to finish up mid-December.
